When Charlie Kirk was killed by an assassin this fall, Republican leaders credited the organization he founded for enabling President Trump’s return to power.
Now that organization is mobilizing behind JD Vance.
Uninterested in a competitive Republican primary in 2028, Turning Point USA plans to deploy representatives across Iowa’s 99 counties in the coming months to build the campaign infrastructure it believes could deliver Vance, a Midwesterner from nearby Ohio, a decisive victory, potentially short-circuiting a fractious GOP race, insiders said.
Everyone said that about trump. It’s for the democrats to lose now.
And we will. Even without gerrymandering and voter suppression, all it will take is a high profile third party candidate.
The only thing that’s going to save your country is a viable third party.
Then the country will not be saved because there is no such thing given the mathematical realities of our electoral system.
It’s happened before
Not really. What we had was one party imploding and taking a couple of different shapes before the new political balance was established. Absent self-immolation due to a division over slavery, there has never been a viable third party.
I was here when Ross Perot captured 20% of the electorate. And he didn’t get a single electoral vote and his party was gone two cycles later. That is the path of every single third party, except they will never again have it as easy as Perot.
There’s that can’t do attitude America is increasingly known for.
